Costa, Nikka - Like A Feather Lyrics






I'm coming out of my wishing well
Where only echoes lonely hear m prayers
I'm coming around to bend cause my resistance been to persistent
I've come to far to force it so I'll watch it slide and land
I could come on strong and willful but
I'd rather watch it fall to the palm of my hand

[Chorus:]
And when I set it free like a feather it will be
And when I rise to see it done like whatever it will be it will be

I'm taking a breather baby
From sitting on pins waiting for my sky to fall
I'm taking up giving in
So here's the wheel, I'm putting my feet up
Take another look at me baby
Today I'm taking on catastrophe
I'd rather take it easy
Then try to force what's on its way to me

[Chorus:]
And when I set it free like a feather it will be
And when I rise to see it done like whatever it will be it will be

We're only afraid if we pull back the blinds too far
The lights behind that we free will blind other stars
But the truth doesn't blind it helps to see far
so get ready to be
Who you are

    I’ve been looking for this song for over a year… I just could not remember the singer or the name of the song!

  4. W.... E....

    Every time this song came on MTV or VH1 I would lose my shit. Damn those were the days.

  5. t.... ....

    I love how Nikka turns into one of the boys from Duck Tales at 2:28!!😊💜

  6. d.... ....

  11. A.... S....

    I haven't heard this one in years, and I SO wish some rapper would sample & loop this beat for something 💡❓🙏🏾🥺 #please?

    A.... S....

    Early Mark Ronson production.

    Immortal banger.

  12. B.... L....

  19. B.... S....

    Cashmeoutside chick? Still funny whether yes or no

  20. S.... O....

    They wanted a big hit so they paid to have this play on MTV everyone 15 minutes. People heard it so many times they were burnt out. Too much exposure can hurt a career.

  21. V.... G....

    Whatever happened to her?

  22. S.... B....

    Forced Soul is No SOul

  23. M.... B....

    Man that chick Nikka can move!

  28. s.... ....

    THE NOSTALGIA

  29. c.... s....

    2019? 🙃

    c.... s....

    I remember being tramatized as a little girl watching this on MTV. Now I love it! Nostalgia babies 😘

  30. l.... o....

    BBC2 brought me here. Her voice is amazing!

    l.... o....

    Me too! and what an amazing Doc about Mark Ronson ;)

  31. T.... S....

    She fell off! 🤷🏾‍♂️

  32. o.... ....

    Thumbs up if you remember her as MTV "buzzworthy".

  33. T.... G....

    What did I just watch?

  34. S.... M....

    The album was really good I don't know what happened to her but she was really good

  35. A.... E....

    Great Nikka.

  36. K.... W....

    I finally found this song!!! Omg I remember this when I was a child watching this on VH1 everytime this came on. I didn't know who she was but all I kept saying from the chorus was ba ba ba, ba ba bee, ba ba pepper, bum ba bee. but I didn't know the song. Lol and she was all over the place and on the floor. Still love the song. It took me a long time to find this song n video.

  37. A.... F....

    This was on a Tommy Hilfiger ad back when Tommy was real big.i think its older than 2001 though ...something wants to say 1999 maybe....

    A.... F....

    i thought the same thing.. i thought this came out in 1999 not 2001..but then again i dont remember things

  38. R.... F....

    White hot !! 🥵

  39. d.... ....

    Nikka is boss and this song is sick, but it does sort of give me Grace Adler doing drunken karaoke vibes. 😜

  40. A.... Z....

    Epic!!!!!

  41. 2.... ....

    STILL A BOP

  42. e.... d....

    I'm guessing 2/3 of this videos budget went to double sided sticky tape.

  43. C.... M....

    2019!! I remember this!! Childhood bop she was really underappreciated!!

  44. K.... ....

    work honey..

  45. J.... R....

    So underappreciated.

  46. M.... D....

    GODDESS

  47. s.... c....

    She almost won "Best New Female Artist Award" when this was out that Summer!

  48. A.... W....

    Still here for this in 2019, so damn good!

  49. M.... G....

    Thanks to XPN.org for introducing me to this song ages ago. She's like a female Lenny Kravitz. I'm stupefied this song only has 350K views after all these years. It's a shame most people have shitty musical taste.

  50. C.... E....

    AYYYYYYE. Still my song in 2019!

  51. c.... ....

    Nikka should have been up there with Pink, Christina and Destinys Child, but unfortunately Britney was eclipsing everyone in 2001, even Beyonce had to wait for Britney’s star to cool off before she could make a start on her solo career

  52. e.... j....

    this joint is such a classic. 🙂

  53. A.... C....

    Masterpiece song , but yet so underrated :/

  54. N.... M....

    She’s a genius!

  55. j.... ....

    been searching for this for years. could not remember her name or the name of the song

  56. J.... P....

    Ain't heard this in a while

  57. G.... S....

    Almost 20 years later, this song still holds up very well. It’s a shame she didn’t get more exposure.

  58. Y.... F....

    This was one of my favorite videos of 2001 I was 14yrs old. I kept trying to remember her name for a long time and couldn't. The only reason I found her was because on IG Britney Spears page she had a pic of a rolling stone mag cover with mary j and shakira and a list of other names and nikka costa was one of them then instally I remembered.lol

  59. P.... F....

    "HQ"???????????

  60. D.... J....

    2019 4am this popped in my mind💖💖💖

  61. E.... B....

    Bravissima ,stupenda

  62. M.... A....

    😫😫😫😫 she is so coolllllllll

  63. M.... A....

    She is so fine 😍 💕

  64. K.... E....

    Nasty..n cool. Funky... smoke up!!🎶🍒🍒

  65. a.... ....

    Nikka is nine kinds of WOW!
    Beats out the majority of today's over produced, under talented, tabloided crap.

  66. C.... N....

    Underrated song and artist.

  67. S.... G....

    Heard her on the Charlie Brown peanuts soundtrack God she's annoying. There will only be one Janis Joplin. This girl isn't even a copycat.

  68. Y.... S....

    Crazy hot.

  69. a.... ....

    Love this song

  70. S.... L....

    Who sampled this beat? It sounds so familiar

  71. J.... L....

    I was in middle school when this came out, it sounded awesome back then and she definitely would put artist nowadays to shame. Not to mention sexy she’s got awesome stage presence and a very beautiful voice. Brings back awesome memories!!!!

  72. s.... ....

    Love this song since I was 13 this song has a huge Prince influence especially the screaming at 2:27 mark I wonder if he made this for her

  73. D.... H....

    She was way too funky for her own good 🔥🔥🔥

  74. K.... 5....

    I came here to say "How come she wasn't more popular". but y'all beat me to it. Not one bum track on the album !

  75. f.... ....

    She’s beautiful

  76. T.... ....

    She would be a legend if dropped a few months later! 2001 was a crazy year.

  77. L.... J....

    She looked like Shakira and sounded like Shakira it just didnt work in the states.Great song though.

  78. X.... R....

    While everyone talkin bout jill scotts mic work... Nikka been got funky w it

  79. A.... ....

    2018 and still rockin out to this in my car <3

  80. A.... S....

    She never got the attention she deserved her debut album was really good.

  81. s.... ....

    Wow, that was terrible. No wonder her career never took off.

  82. O.... S....

    This song will never get old for me.

  83. t.... ....

    I wanted to be a redhead so much at the time

  84. R.... A....

    2018 still loving this!

    I remember seeing this frequently referenced in a 2001 Tommy Hilfiger commercial and loving it but never knowing details for about a decade.

    We didn’t use search engines for that kind of stuff back then; you had to read magazines, watch lots of TV, ask around or check AllMusicGuide... maybe even go the record store, which you did regularly anyway!

    Nikka & Remy Shand were replaced by Joss Stone & Robin Thicke, but I wish it was the other way around (or maybe just everybody wins!).

  85. K.... R....

    Ella es como Leny Kravitz en versión femenina!

  86. Z.... ....

    She the Jess Glynne of her time.

  87. J.... M....

    I woke up with this song on my mind and couldn't remember the title, just the beat. Finally found it and couldn't be happier.

  88. c.... ....

    2001, commuting to school/work I played the hell Out of this whole entire album, the CD had scratches.
    Sucks she didn’t get much recognition afterwards. Everybody got their something album is a masterpiece.

  89. m.... R....

    Tinha mais graça qndo pqna!! Afffffff

  90. E.... H....

    Still a classic funky hit song , I still jam too this track go Nikka.🙌🏾

  91. i.... ....

    I remember this bop. What happened?

  92. k.... ....

    The only thing I can think about when watching this video is how on earth is she keeping that top on... So distracting. Jeez.

    k.... ....

    As a young male at the time, this was hypnotic. I Couldn’t Blink.

  93. Q.... ....

    Been looking for this song all week. I probably haven't heard in over 8 or 9 yrs. All I remember was her name which I was spelling wrong for a minute (nikki decoasta) hahaha. It's so good to be back. This summer I really need you again!

  94. T.... H....

    I first hear this song on a Tommy Hilfiger commercial when i was in high school and searched til I found it. Loved this song!

  95. J.... ....

    Y’all quit comparing her to other people! She’s the one and only Nikka Costa!!! She’s herself. And she is FIRE!

  96. �.... ....

    かっこいいわ~

  97. s.... j....

    WHAT A TALENT \M/

  98. C.... G....
